== Do we really need to do this? ==
Honestly. I know this is all done is good faith and with the aim of having consensus behind implementation... But really. Pending changes, in my eyes, has proven to be nothing but beneficial to every page I have seen it activated on. The current system works well. Why not instead put out a call for anyone to voice their concerns with the current system, now that we've had a many-month trial? Does it need to be improved; has it impeded editing; has anybody complained about it? This would show the general disdain. I honestly don't think there would be any anecdotal evidence of pending changes causing issues with good-faith positive and constructive contributions to the encyclopedia. As such we '''should''' be moving forward, not '''asking''' if we should move forward. - '''[[User:Floydian|<
:Isn't that part of this RfC? To see what the community thinks about PC? My concern is that ''a.'' there is no major update coming that further improves loading time/more functionality (PC articles have to be loaded by ajax or javascript or something, it seems; old revisions still take forever to load on long pages), and ''b.'' that the community's trust has been exhausted given that this two-month trial has turned into a seven-month one. If the WMF wants to turn on PC, they have the authority to do so. If they want to leave it on indefinitely without any attempts to further divulge information on continuing/ending PC until after this RfC was started, then I see a serious problem. <span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;">'''/[[User:Fetchcomms|<span style="color:#000;">ƒETCH</span>]][[User talk:Fetchcomms|<span style="color:#000;">COMMS</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Fetchcomms|<span style="color:#000;">/</span>]]'''</span> 03:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::I work on PC and I haven't noticed any recent loading problems with any pages. Also you claim the communities patience has been exhausted, this is not true at all, it might be your feelings but not overall. I don't see a massive outpouring of objections to this tool here or anywhere else. All I see are a few users with their own personal objections to the tool being left on without a ''consensus''.
